OUR HISTORY:
The Evolution of Disc Golf
Disc golf has deep roots that stretch back to the early 20th century, but it wasn’t until the 1970s that it truly began to resemble the sport we know today. With the formation of the Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) in 1976, the sport received a standardized set of rules, and tournaments began to pop up across the country. As the sport gained traction, courses were developed in parks, and players across the U.S. embraced the easy-to-learn, low-cost, outdoor activity.
By the 1990s, disc golf was beginning to emerge from the fringes and move toward mainstream popularity. But back then, finding high-quality discs and equipment was still a challenge. That’s where we came in. Gotta Go Gotta Throw was founded with the goal of becoming a trusted source for disc golfers, both in Minnesota and beyond. Our commitment to stocking a wide selection of gear from top brands like Innova and Discraft, alongside our own innovations, helped us grow into a cornerstone of the disc golf community.
OUR CONTRIBUTIONS:
Over the past three decades, Gotta Go Gotta Throw has been a driving force in advancing disc golf. We’ve not only provided gear for players, but we’ve also sponsored tournaments, supported local disc golf leagues, and maintained a strong connection with the community. Our reputation is built on a foundation of integrity, expertise, and passion for the sport.
One of our proudest innovations is the introduction of the Revolution Disc Golf Bags, which feature our patented Disc Cradle. Additionally, we have recently acquire the Fade Gear line. These bags are designed for players who demand durability, comfort, and functionality, whether they’re playing casually or competing at a professional level. The Disc Cradle minimizes wear on discs while in the bag, and our designs have been praised for withstanding the day-to-day abuse that serious disc golfers expect.
Our recent acquisition of Lightning Golf Discs and Quest Applied Technologies has also allowed us to expand our offerings, bringing another trusted name under our banner. This move has further solidified our standing as a leader in the industry, with growing product lines that cater to disc golfers of all skill levels.
